Sony confirms Arcade Fire signing

The two-album deal, first reported by Variety, ends the band’s lengthy association with Universal, which released the Canadian group’s most recent album, Reflektor, a UK No.1, in 2013, via Virgin EMI in the UK. The album has sold 156,414 copies to date, according to the Official Charts Company.

The band dropped its disco-influenced new single, Everything Now, on June 1, having initially released it on vinyl at Primavera Festival. The Everything Now video has already had over 1.24 million views on YouTube, with the album of the same name due to be released on July 28.
